[newbie] New OS in LILO/GRUB menu
Let's say you have Mandrake 8.0 whose LILO and GRUB boot perfectly. Then, you decide to add another OS that doesn't include a boot loader Will the new OS automatically be added to MDK8.0's LILO/GRUB boot menu and if not, how do you get it onto the menu? I'm guessing that something has to be edited into MDK8.0's /etc/lilo.conf, but what? Does GRUB use the same boot file as LILO or does it have its own?

You have to edit the files by hand. /etc/lilo.conf can be done with an editor, then run lilo to activate the changes. The requirements of the other os dictate the entries in there. OS/2 has different specs than Winders or Beos. Does GRUB use the same boot file as LILO or does it have its own? Grub has /boot/grub/menu.lst. Ehmmm: in Mdk 7.x it USED to have that. How to edit things now... I guess that would be from DrakConf. -- We will either find a way, or make one. -Hannibal http://nlpagan.net - Registered Linux User 174403 Linux Mandrake 8.0 - Sylpheed 0.5.3 ** http://www.care2.com - when you care ** Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] New OS in LILO/GRUB menu
Unsure about what LILO uses, but if you have GRUB, there's a folder /boot/grub , which contains the output messages, and the menu itself. In fact, you can edit the files by hand, but it's not recommended to.
